  1. That was a disappointing ending. Usually you at least want something big to happen. Instead they're just stuck in a rail car.
  2. Why did they put overpriced apartments in a 100% commercial zone?
  3. He didn't come up with the house until 2011 but his website still looks like it's from 2001
  4. Yes. The only time any spring training numbers matter is if someone hits .150 after a down year or puts up a 6 ERA. Then it's a pretty good sign they'll suck again.
  5. mod edit: added spoiler tag - common courtesy!....even though someone stupid enough to be reading this thread without being current on the show is a moron
  6. When I own the team I'm going to pay everybody $100 per ticket but charge a $150 service fee.
  7. Caught the first two episodes on HBO Go today. It's like The Killing except good.
  8. How would Jesse be Jesse in a prequel when he keeps getting older and balder?
  9. I wish I was able to understand any of that but it just looks like a series of random letters to me.
  10. I can't think of any cons other than questionable support in the future. Google has a tendency to kill off products when they get bored of them but if they did that you'd have enough advance warning to port your number back out. Texting with it is slightly annoying too. Normally if you got a text from Bob then it would just show up as being from Bob. When Bob texts your Voice a random number shows up but the message will say "Bob - Hey I just sent you a message." If you get it forwarded to your regular number. If you use the Google Voice app you won't have that problem but the app is kind of slow and outdated and sucks to use. Having free or heavily discounted international calls depending on the country is a nice bonus. I mainly use my google voice number for things that require a phone number but I don't want to give my real number out to. That way if they try to spam me with calls it's easy to block. It's been a while since I actually got a message on it but I think what happens is I get a notification from my voice app saying I've got a new voicemail. It's a separate notification from my standard voicemail. If you're on Android and have the app installed on your phone then it will ask whether you want your outbound call to display your regular or Voice phone number. You can choose whether it uses one number as a default, only uses Voice for international calls, or have it ask you which number to use every time. Missed calls can also be sent to your email and transcribed but not very well.
  11. I have google voice forwarded to my phone. I can't even tell when a call is coming from voice or direct unless I check it afterwards.
  12. I think Ben Ghazi is the frontrunner for the republicans in 2016 now.
  13. Totally worth it. I always recommend it to anyone who complains about Windows 8. It's way easier than downgrading to Windows 7.
  14. I don't but they are steadily gaining market share around the world so it can't be too awful.
  15. That's one best shape of his life story I'll actually believe since it happened last year and he actually got better afterwards.
  16. He could be the best of the era or century but it's almost impossible to put up numbers like they used to. Back in the old days the top players put up some ridiculous numbers that you just don't see out of people anymore. Miguel Cabrera or Pujols in his prime came close but nobody hits .360 with 45 HR anymore. Look at the top seasons by WAR on baseball reference and only 4 guys on the top 50 made it in in the last 30 years. http://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/WAR_bat_season.shtml Trout, A-Rod's 2000 season, and some of Bond's ridiculous years, and Sammy Sosa in 2001. That's it. It's a lot more of a level playing field than it used to be which seems odd since there's a lot more players now so the talent gap between the best and the worst should be bigger but they didn't have specialists back then either.
